Led by sales of glucose monitoring devices, the In Vitro Diagnostics testing segment has rapidly become one of the prominent sectors in the overall Life Sciences & Medical industry.
Due to the disposable nature of the diagnostic test strips employed by these medical devices, the interfacing interconnects that read the strips represent a significant technical challenge for achieving volume production levels, stringent quality control requirements and low-cost assembly objectives.
The new Interplex Tech Bulletin on this issue outlines the basics of test strip interconnect design and shows how advanced manufacturing methods combine continuously stamped leads, reel-to-reel over-molding, fully-automated inspection and assembly to enable cost-effective high volume production of interconnects.
Key topics include:
- Test Strip Design Basics
- Component Design and Continuous Manufacturing
- Continuous Automated Assembly and Inspection
